ZAKK WYLDE’S stolen guitar found in Chicago Pawn Shop

May 4, 2014

We are pleased to let you know that Zakk Wylde‘s STOLEN Pelham Blues Les Paul Custom Guitar has been found! We brought you the story on March 14th about how the custom guitar was stolen off his tour bus during the Experience Hendrix show at the Chicago Theater. Social media was trending posts as a call to find the stolen guitar! You can read that initial post here. The guitar turned up at a Chicago area pawn shop that happens to be the setting of truTV’s Hardcore Pawn reality show. It was reported in the Chicago Tribune story how “The owners of Royal Pawn Shop, 428 S. Clark St., said a man came in to sell the guitar on March 24 – about 10 days after it was reported stolen from Wylde” They also claim they forgot about the alert and paid only around $50 for the guitar. $50 bucks for a GIBSON!! Hard to believe but I who knows…that’s TV for ya… Anyway, we are glad to see the stolen guitar get recovered and even more [Read More]

Faith and Bullets make their Hollywood debut at The Whisky a Go Go.

May 4, 2014

Our favorite local band, Faith and Bullets tore up the stage as they made their Sunset Strip debut at The Whisky a GoGo this past Friday night. We were there for the show and wouldn’t have missed it. We first featured Faith and Bullets on our Thirsty Thursdays a feature about bands who are thirsty for ROCK and the power to make it happen! This band is definitely dedicated and one of the hardest working band out here in the area. All that hard work has paid off for them as they made down to their first of what I am sure to be, shows in Hollywood. Here is our interview with Faith and Bullets from the Whisky a Go Go: Faith and Bullets have a sound that blends old 80′s rock like Motley Crue, Kiss, Poison, and Dokken with what I call “80′s on replay rock” like Crashdiet, Black Veil Brides, and Reckless Love. You have Stevie Mayhem on vocals who not only delivers incredible 80’s inspired vocals but has an amazing stage presence as well. Rikk Alexander [Read More]
